PhD candidate in the Department of AI
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of AI, GIST, advised by Prof. Hae-Gon Jeon. I am currently conducting my research at Yonsei University, South Korea.
My research lies in 3D Vision for human and scene understanding, particularly in modeling physical interactions and human cues for robotics and embodied AI. I am interested in building 3D representations of humans and environments that ground embodied perception, from digital twins and human-robot interaction to robot vision in the real world.
